Payday Lending Cases
Johnny Haygood v. The Cash Store
Evans/Reid v. USA Payday Stores
Barnes Law Group has resolved and is currently handling several cases involving illegal loans that impose excessive and usurious interest rates. Generally, a “payday loan” transaction involves an advance to a borrower of $500 or less which is due to be repaid within a short period of time, usually two weeks. The borrower is required to write the lender a check in the amount of the advance, plus an additional fee imposed by the lender for making the loan. The check is held by the lender until the borrower’s next payday. The most recent case settled for $4 million.
